EV is lighter than an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle, and the CG (Center of Gravity) that pulls to the center of the earth is closer to the ground, preventing overturning when turning at high speed and it is being able to save fuel and lower the cost of foreign currency. Such characteristics are its advantages. During the tenure of the State Administration Council Government, EVs are being imported and distributed to keep people safe and reduce spending.
Under the approval of the National-level Steering Committee on Development of Electric Vehicles and Related Accessories, a total of 86 companies: 34 companies in 2022-2023 and 52 companies in 2024 are allowed to import electric vehicles including personal cars, taxis, vehicles for delivery, bus and E-motorcycles including bicycles, tricycles, EV chargers and spare parts. Currently, 35 companies have imported a total of 4,612 vehicles, 9,088 motorcycles, 942 chargers and 10 spare parts for vehicles. Likewise, 20 charging stations have been constructed.
Using electric vehicles-EVs can: decrease the use of foreign currency for fuel import; be free from negative effects on human-beings, animals and plants due to carbon-dioxide gas emitted from vehicles; reduce the engine’s noise level; and decrease the maintenance cost because of easy repairs. Therefore, it is a beneficial project for public among the projects during the tenure of the State Administration Council Government, it is reported.
